Here, a unique class of advanced materials—quantum composites based on polymers with fillers composed of a van der Waals quantum material that reveals multiple charge-density-wave quantum condensate phases—is demonstrated. Materials that exhibit quantum phenomena are typically crystalline, pure, and have few defects because disorder destroys the coherence of the electrons and phonons, leading to collapse of the quantum states. The macroscopic charge-density-wave phases of filler particles after multiple composite processing steps are successfully preserved in this work. The prepared composites display strong charge-density-wave phenomena even above room temperature. The dielectric constant experiences more than two orders of magnitude enhancement while the material maintains its electrically insulating properties, opening a venue for advanced applications in energy storage and electronics. The results present a conceptually different approach for engineering the properties of materials, extending the application domain for van der Waals materials.
